The term virtualization has been used to mean many different things; thus, the virtualization police may or may not agree to a LUN being a layer of virtualization. A LUN can be used to present a larger or smaller view of the disk storage to the server. For example if you partition a disk drive into smaller pieces for your application or system needs (perhaps your server's operating system has a disk drive size limit) the sub-segments would share a common SCSI target ID address with each partition being a unique LUN.
Another example would be with a RAID controller where multiple disk drives are mirrored (RAID-1) or stripped with parity (RAID-5) together to create a larger physical disk volume. A LUN would be used to represent the virtual disk devices made up of the disks in the RAID group. So, as it turns out, you may not need to create a LUN to use a disk device. For example, if you are simply attaching several JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disk) disks to a server via SCSI, USB, Fibre Channel, or what ever interface you prefer, LUNs may not have to be created. If you are using a SCSI disk and you have not sub-divided it into different partitions, then the device would show up with a unique SCSI ID target and default LUN 0. Note that you will want to make sure the devices are properly addressed to avoid conflicts. So when it comes down to deciding whether or not you need a LUN, you have to ask yourself what type of storage you have, how it is configured and how you are going to use it. Most likely, unless you are using JBOD or a single disk device, you will be using LUNs as an abstraction layer to access your storage.

Summary of A Cat By Any Other Name Summary of A Cat By Any Other Name Reviews for A Cat By Any Other Name An Excerpt from A Cat By Any Other Name
A catnip garden yields a bumper crop of murder for actress-turned-sleuth Alice Nestleton...
Alice Nestleton, beautiful off-off Broadway actress-turned-amateur-detective, has been forced into a life of crime—sleuthing that is—with some cat-sitting on the side. But this hot summer in New York she has taken a hiatus from stage and scene-of-the-crime to join a coterie of cat-lovers in cultivating a Manhattan herb garden. Unfortunately, a party to celebrate their first crop of peppermint tea ends with one of their group going right off the edge—of a 25th-floor terrace. Alice is stunned and grief stricken at the apparent suicide. But aided and abetted by her two cats, she soon smells a rat. And the help of her own feline-like instincts, the gorgeous gumshoe discovers that the victim's dearest friends may well have been her most murderous enemies…

G403, Revised February 2009
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA/NASS) collects information on the market value of agricultural land and buildings through two different procedures — the Census of Agriculture conducted every four to five years and an annual survey. The results are made available through published reports and on the Web.
The table in this guide contains state and county values for Missouri land and buildings from the U.S. Census of Agriculture for each year it has been conducted since 1964. The print version of this guide contains information dating back to 1959. The Census of Agriculture data is gathered through a complex sampling procedure that has varied through the years. In general, these values have been obtained by mail using a special version of the standard U.S. census form for farms that meet certain criteria.
USDA/NASS's annual survey uses a different sampling method and does not provide county-level data. This annual survey is conducted by personally contacting every farm operator within selected segments in each state. Surveyors also contact selected Realtors and others who have direct knowledge of land sales in the state. The statisticians responsible for this survey compare their data with the census data to see that the figures maintain a uniform historic relationship. Annual land values for Missouri and surrounding states can be found in MU Extension publication G404, Farm Land Values.
Values given for the same year may not be the same in both the census and annual reports. The census figures represent values within the designated year. The annual survey provides values as of Jan. 1 of the designated year. Thus, when land prices are trending higher, the Jan. 1 value tends to be lower than the census value for that year. When prices are trending lower, the Jan. 1 value tends to be higher than the census value for the same year.
Table 1Market value of farm land and buildings for Missouri counties, average per acre.
For years in which the census was not conducted, county values may be estimated using the information in the following table. Two methods of calculation are possible. The first is simple interpolation. For example, land in Adair County was worth $168 per acre in 1969 and $299 per acre in 1974, for an increase of $131 during this five-year period, or an average increase of $26.20 per year. Thus one could estimate that Adair County farmland was worth $194.20 per acre in 1970 ($168 + $26.20), $220.40 in 1971 ($168 + $26.20 + $26.20), etc.
The second, and more accurate, approach is to adjust county values using Missouri figures from the annual survey (MU Guide 404). For example, the Missouri average value for farmland in 1969 was $217 per acre, in 1970 it was $224 per acre, in 1971 it was $236 per acre, and in 1974 it was $384 per acre. Of the $167 increase over these five years, $7 or 4.19 percent occurred between 1969 and 1970. Multiplying the 4.19 percent one-year Missouri increase by the $131 per acre five-year increase of Adair County gives a one-year increase for Adair County of $5.49 per acre. Therefore, the estimated value for Adair County in 1970 would be $173.49 per acre ($168 + $5.49). Using the same procedure, the value of Adair County farmland in 1971 would be $182.91 (the $11.38 increase in Missouri land in these two years of the five-year period times Adair County's five-year increase of $131 = $14.91 + Adair County's value in 1969 of $168 = $182.91).
Occasionally it is necessary to determine the value of a specific piece of property at some time in the past. A method for calculating this is described in MU Guide 404, but the county data in the following table is important to the calculations.

Pacers Focus On LeBron At Own Risk
The Miami Heat are going to have quite a challenge in front of them from the opening tip of Game 4 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Miami must find a way to once again play a near perfect half against the defensive-minded Indiana Pacers.

Fringe VHF/UHF/HDTV Outdoor Antenna
Highly rugged, 28 element directional antenna is engineered to receive VHF-Hi and UHF signals for digital and high definition television broadcasts. It is especially useful in areas where digital broadcasts still exist on VHF channels. Corner Yagi design provides exceptional directivity and gain.
Click Here to see our expanded line of Stellar Labs Outdoor Antennas.
Reception seems fairly good so far. If you can get it up high (>30 ft.), over flat terrain and assuming the station is fairly powerful and broadcasts off a very high tower, it might actually make its 60 mile rating.The problem is that the boom is only about 0.71" square (cross-section) and made of 0.31" thick aluminum. This might be ok of the antenna was supported in the middle of the assembly ( clamp-to-mast location), but, instead, the antenna clamps to the mast at the extreme rear of the boom. This puts huge leverage on the rear of the boom -- I doubt it would survive a 40 mph wind, or a quarter inch of ice: Both are common events in the mid-South.Almost as bad, this design puts enormous torque on your mast if there is much wind. This may twist your antenna in it's clamp or at the mast clamp to its mount or a rotator, or it may damage your rotator. Or it may simply break the clamp with time. (In a good boom antenna design, the wind load to the rear of the mast would approximately balance the wind load to the front of the mast.)The only way I can see using an antenna of this type, with this (mounting) design with such a light boom is:In an attic.On a mast with very serious bracing added. Hopefully the structure would durable and not be too "real Rube Goldberg".Two on a mast, essentially back-to-back, and well braced. I am thinking of running a steel re-rod or steel bars as far in from the back of the boom as possible, and probably adding external bracing as well. This will hopefully work, but not even including my time, will probably cost as much as the 2 antennas did, when all is said and done. And it will be heavy. At least the good news is that most of our "main" stations are in 2 groups, roughly 180 degrees apart.
This antenna is easy to set up and install. HDTV VHF and UHF is suprising good. 10 foot mast, on roof, works great. San Fernando Valley Calif. I'm picking up some stations over 60 miles away. Go for it!
I like that it can get UHF and VHF. Beats a terrible and more expensive antenna with booster. This was easy to put together.
I recently installed this antenna in my attic. With a little direction tuning and a amplifier I picked up all of my area stations which are 40 to 50 miles away and spread over a 40 degree arc. The one thing that really stood out when install this antenna was how easy it was to assemble. There are only three wing nuts and two of those are for attaching the antenna to the pole. Otherwise everything either folds out or simply snaps into place. I've assembles a number of antenna in my life and this was truly the first one I can say was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend this product.

Golden Eagles Trounce USAO, 89-68, to Open Season
"Some wins make you happier than others, but we accomplished what we wanted to today," said Head Coach Misti Cussen. "This was the one we needed and today's cleanliness was a good affirmation to me that we were well prepared for today's game."
Mayberry was one of four Golden Eagles to finish in double-figures. Christian Key canned five three-pointers and scored 15 points, Sarah Shelton pumped in 14 and Alexus Wilson scored a dozen. As a team, ORU shot 40.9% from the floor.
Key and Shelton were the only two Golden Eagles from last season's Southland Conference championship team to log minutes against USAO.
Shelton added a career-high 16 rebounds in the win, leading the Golden Eagles to a 52-41 rebounding edge. The Ft. Worth native is the first ORU player to collect 15 or more rebounds since the 2010-11 season.
USAO (0-2) was led by Sami Martin's 18 points, but the Drovers shot just 33.3% from the field
Cussen's team was on fire from three-point range in their season-opener, hitting 12 of their 22 attempts, a 54.5% mark. Four different Golden Eagles connected from deep.
ORU came out on fire, scoring the first 14 points of the game. A Mayberry three-pointer with 15:56 left in the half gave the Golden Eagles a 14-0 lead, and a blowout looked to be in the offing.
But USAO did not back down, making things very interesting in the middle stages of the half. A Kylie Parker layup exactly halfway through the period sliced the lead to 20-16.
The Golden Eagles grabbed control of the game for good by scoring the final 11 points of the opening stanza. Jenni Bryan had the final two buckets of the half to give ORU a 47-27 lead at the break.
ORU hit seven of their nine three-point attempts in the opening half, with Key draining five and Mayberry connecting on two. The duo led ORU with 15 and 10 points, respectively.
The home side added the first six points of the 2nd half to put the game further out of reach. Another Mayberry trifecta stretched the advantage to 53-27 with 17:30 left in the game.
ORU's largest leads came at the 13:32 mark, with Carolina Lopez hitting her first field goal to make the score 64-36. The lead remained over 20 points for the remainder of the game.
Nine different players made their ORU debuts, and all 11 active players scored at least two points. Mayberry and Wilson led the newcomers, while Noora Jaervikangas added eight points and Bryan chipped in five points and five assists.
The victory is the 30th in a row in regular season games for the Golden Eagles against non-NCAA Division II competition.
The Golden Eagles face a huge step up in competition in their next game, on Sunday, November 10 against 2013 Sweet 16 participant Kansas. Tipoff at historic Allen Fieldhouse is scheduled for 2 pm, with TV coverage available on ESPN3.

Traditional all the way...I've always loved Swedish furniture..too bad they are too darn expensive, my dream source would be a Swedish furniture company called Country Swedish but i think one dining chair costs like $1,500.
I am glad I discovered Wisteria, I was able to purchase a few pieces at 'ok' prices whenever they have a sale...though i am getting slighty sick of mango wood furniture they sell. I also love my king size french bed(with headboard, rails and footboard!) bought from Restoration hardware for less than $1,000!
My another resource is ABC outlet store...
Our furniture style of choice tends to be traditional, but we hate some of the prices that often to come along with it, and we really don't like it when a room's furniture selecting looks like the decorator just opened the pages of a catalog and ordered all of the items at once. A bit ago we wrote about including one unique item in every room, but the unique items can still be quite traditional. We've found a lot of our traditional pieces from various low(er) cost outlets, like the antique bed we purchased from eBay.
If you have patience you can accomplish a layered and sophisticated look using a mix of traditional furniture without looking like it fell out of the pages of a catalog.
Love the sleigh bed.
We have an antique French armoire similar to this, less intricately carved. It's huge, but is not very practical for storage (I worry it would topple over if I put anything too heavy in it so it just houses glasses that are not frequently used). That's the problem with genuine antiques - they look nice, but are not practical. In the same room, we also have a marble-topped claw-foot table, and I have to keep telling the kids not to lean too heavily on it in case the marble top slides off and smashes. I prefer our modern pieces.
@pearmelon --
If you put your weightier items in the bottom of your armoire rather than the top - it will naturally be more tip-resistant...
...and as far as your marble-topped table - you should seek out your local marble & granite company to have bolts installed into the bottom of your marble top so that it can be securely bolted to your table base.
I have those chairs in number 5 ! I got them for $200 each off craigslist. :)
Love that armoire
We love a mix of traditional, unique and modern. We have teak and mango wood throughout our house. We recently bought a lot of art decor items from Wholesale Vases we put them in every room in the house.

I bought this in white block to match with sandals of same color. Look great together. this clutch is so versatile. The workmanship even on the chain is great. no cheap clasp on this at all. What a difference it makes to get good quality items! I like the size of this very much. At 5'4" too many purses are way too big. I've been eyeing the red color for a full year and might end up buying that one later this year.

This is THE BEST clutch I've ever owned. I have several of the solid colors and I juts got the chiliblock. Love that you can wear it as a demi too!!

It took five years and more than $1.5 billion to build the Burj Dubai which, at 2,717 feet, becomes the world's tallest tower. And its long-awaited opening earlier this month came with a surprise—the renaming of the tower as the Burj Khalifa, in honor of Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Abu Dhabi leader who gave Dubai billions of dollars to help its neighboring emirate out of a crushing debt crisis late last year. The sheik also is president of the United Arab Emirates.
In addition to 37 office floors and more than 1,000 apartments, the Burj Khalifa is home to the 160-room Hotel Armani, designed by Giorgio Armani. The hotel's 30,000 square feet of meeting space includes the Armani Ballroom, accommodating 350 guests, and the outdoor Armani Pavilion, with views of the Dubai Fountain, the world's largest "performing" fountain. Also available are restaurants, a night club, and the 12,000-square-foot Armani Spa. The Burj Khalifa is the centerpiece of a $20 billion Downtown Dubai project, halfway between the city's older districts of Deira and Bur Dubai and the more newly developed communities in the Marina and Emirates Hills areas.
Recovering from its financial disaster, Dubai could be a good choice for meeting planners now. Earlier this year, the Dubai Convention Bureau announced the Dubai Bid Alliance, a collaboration of Dubai stakeholders to create a community approach to meeting bids. The alliance committee includes 10 members: the Dubai Convention Bureau, the Dubai Convention & Exhibition Centre, Emirates Airline, a group of two five-star hotels, two four-star hotels, and one three-star hotel, along with a Dubai-based destination management company and a Dubai-based professional congress organizer. The group works together to build conference bids with flexible contracts, discounts, and citywide incentives. More information is available at the Dubai Convention Bureau Web site.

EAA Government Advocacy
Top Story
Preserving Airport Access - Every day, the future of airports around the country is threatened because of encroaching housing or business developments, local funding issues, or other factors. Specifically, FAAs through-the-fence (TTF) policy updates announced last fall have created a great deal of concern from those who use local access agreements to participate in aviation. Read More
On our Radar
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) intends to bring the FAA reauthorization bill to the floor this session. The FAA has been operating under temporary funding extensions since the last reauthorization ran out in 2007. The current extension ends March 31.
It is too soon to tell whether the omission of user fees from the White House budget is a permanent shift in policy or simply deferring a controversial fight for another day. Elected officials have stood strongly in defense of general aviation, but that does not happen unless they hear from members like you who reach out to your legislators to have your voice heard, said Doug Macnair, EAA vice president of government relations.
Macnair thanks EAA members for their tireless efforts in this legislative fight. EAA will continue to be vigilant for any signs of a resurgence of this issue. And one thing is clear; our community must continue making our voices heard over the din of media rhetoric and public ignorance.
EAA is becoming concerned that uninformed use of certain amateur-built accident figures may present a misleading picture of homebuilt aircraft safety. As a result EAA asked Ron Wanttaja, EAA 275698, who has developed and maintained extensive records on this subject, to write a report using the most accurate data possible.
Rons full report is available for download via www.SportAviation.org. The information will provide a useful, accurate baseline of data when discussing homebuilt aircraft safety. It also gives EAA members and the aviation community insight into specific areas where safety can be improved.
EAA in Action
The new FAA Airport Compliance Policy document (FAA Order 5190.6B) is one of the most critical airport management tools available to state aviation officials, airport tenants, and pilots. EAA has numerous concerns about the document, and submitted extensive comments to the Federal Register, focusing on three areas:
1. Clarification of adjacent residential through-the-fence agreements.
2. Accessibility to public-use general aviation airports by recreational pilots and enthusiasts.
3. Improving support for aviation activities, including availability of ethanol-free premium autogas, support for owner self-service maintenance, and clarification of airport reduced fair-market value rent opportunities for EAA chapters.
Security issues involving general aviation (GA) were a topic of discussion at an initial meeting with an Aviation Security Advisory Committee, which opened the door for industry, including EAA, and the Transportation Security Administration to discuss issues of concern and work toward constructive solutions. This working group will focus on the security directive process, Large Aircraft Security Program and repair station rules, and flight school security.
Following an appeal from EAA, the FAA made public the findings of an internal FAA investigation of the Zodiac 601/650 series of aircraft. The report included a review and evaluation of safety concerns, a determination whether the special light-sport aircraft version of the Zodiac CH 601 XL is in compliance with ASTM standards, and the status of its continued operational safety.
For many years EAA supported both the FAA and the aircraft manufacturers efforts to find the root cause of several in-flight failures of these aircraft. In addition, EAA surveyed its members to gauge their awareness of the FAAs special airworthiness information bulletin, the AMD safety directive/safety alert, and their intent to comply with both. Importantly, the results assured the FAA that the 601/650 community was aware of the key issues and able to self-regulate.
EAA shared the report with members and is working with EAA technical counselors to assist builders and owners of the 601 XL and 650 to modify their aircraft and ensure the safety of the pilots, their passengers, and persons and property on the ground.
Earl's Epilogue
Stolen Aircraft Lands at LAX! Headlines like this have been in the news much too frequently. When GA aircraft are left unlocked or keys left unattended, and someone steals an airplane, it doesnt help our job of trying to prevent onerous new security restrictions. GA aircraft are not stolen often, but when they are, it tends to be national news.
An incident in Southern California in February that ended with an early morning landing at Los Angeles International Airport is a lesson for all. While it is common for people to lock and alarm their parked car, securing aircraft does not appear to be taken as seriously. Why not?
Each local airport is its own small community; programs like the AOPA Airport Watch can be extremely effective in ensuring the security of our airports and aircraft. EAA encourages its members and chapters to actively support this program.
Basic security measures in place at your airport need to be taken seriously. How does it look to a casual observer when you enter or exit an airport access gate and then drive away rather than wait for the gate to close? Such behavior may seem like a minor transgression, but how will it look if your indiscretion is used as a Top Story at 10 by your local TV station. In addition, what message does it send to local law enforcement about how seriously GA enthusiasts take security?
EAA consistently tries to decrease the barriers to participation; we want our sport to be welcoming and inviting for others to experience the pleasures of flight. But remember the famous words trust but verify. You may trust that the fixed-base operator put fuel in your aircraft, but you still verify. The more seriously we take the security of our aircraft, the more trust will be placed in us.

Read more about out what else is happening in the world of EAA's government relations.
EAA's Government Relations department works to preserve the freedom of flight and reduce the regulatory barriers affecting affordability and access to EAA members participation in aviation. Protecting the freedom to fly is the foundation on which all of the organizations advocacy initiatives are built. EAA fights to preserve this freedom by providing clear solutions and practical alternatives backed by hard work and dedication. EAAs 55-year history of success is a testament to that philosophy.

Firefox 3.6 Learns WOFF
Mozilla has made itself into the draft horse for a new font format for the Web that some of its developers and independent font designers are currently hatching. Firefox 3.6 should be the first to support the new Web Open Font Format (WOFF).
The new Web Open Font Format (.woff) should repackage the existing TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) font formats. Two things benefit from it: compatibility with the existing formats and metadata whereby a font designer can communicate to the world about the font's usage. A few font designers have already announced that they're jumping aboard WOFF. A discussion participant already lists Adobe among the supporting foundries, although Mozilla itself does not yet include the font veteran on their list.
The proposal for the new format came from font designers Erik van Blokland and Tal Leming beginning of July on their w3.org mailing list. Mozilla developers have since chimed in. Together with the aforementioned, Jonathan Kew drafted the first WOFF design specification and John Daggett describes the new format in a Mozilla hacks blog.
Kew and Daggett also present the realm of possibilities due in Firefox 3.7 for the new font format.

Move to the hills of backwater kentucky and make whisky.
And the small towns in Kansas are just like the Waltons, even now.
And it may not be the one you think.
If you could be any place or anywhere in American history, would it be here:
Perhaps here?
or here?
I was hoping my life here would be like it was in Hazzard. But things seem to have changed.

Thanks for the offer of a return ticket Redwood.
But it's not the shows I'm after.
It's the lifestyle.
An America of old perhaps, that was not to be found here when I arrived.
Perhaps a happier America with the Bandit and friendly police.
Has America changed that much in the short space of thirty years?

My house always sounded like the Waltons, you would had loved it. At night, I would yell to each my sons, that I loved them, they yelled back, I love you mom, I love you dad, my husband would yell to each son that he loved them, and then, I would say laying next to my husband that I loved him, and he would say the same back to me.
We had a great life. I wish the same for you Ian... I hope you get your John-boy, and Mary Ellen someday.
I'm sure there were/are parts of America that are really like those shows.
Don't break the dreams of a million wanna-big immigrants whose only knowledge of America is these great shows Redwood!
Versailles is what you see on TV or in the movies when you look at that country from a great distance. Also, huge apartments with high ceilings. And outdoor settings that are beautiful.
Watching French TV, I saw a documentary where immigrants complained that their life in France wasn't at all like what they had dreamt of. Most of the habitable buildings in France of the kind that immigrants can get into are butt ugly. It's not Versailles, not at all...
Hope this helps. In terms of reality check. As a general rule, nobody has any incentive to put the worst parts of any society on TV or in movies. If you needed to be told that, you can thank me for telling you that. If not, just thank me anyway. Modern America is similar to the America that existed in previous decades. Things did not change in any sudden way. It's a continuum. There is continuity. Hope this helps, in terms of hearing at least once that there were all the same currents that you see today and which impact you more strongly now than they will later, because you are still a recent immigrant and still getting your bearings.
Do they have scholarships in England? How does that work? It's a new subject. If you want to have your eyes opened, look into this subject.
Of course they have scholarships in England. All sorts. Students apply and the brightest get them.
Some are awarded to people in Commonwealth countries that can then come to England to study (foreign students pay much much higher fees to study in England than English ones).
But scholarships for English people going to university are not make or break like they are here in the US...at least not yet.
You can still afford to go to university without one. With one, you won't have to work a summer job and you'll probably have less debt when you leave.
For the American poor, it's scholarship or bust. Because the taxpayers here blindly exit. Little do they know that well-educated kids save them a dime when they become large taxpayers themselves. Dim kids grow to not pay tax.
America will understand that some day. It should be getting it now....because that's why the deficit is so big.
It ain't America's spending that's the problem. It's the revenue.
You need cleverer people, in better jobs, earning more, paying more in taxes.
Not spending cuts that some backward people are proposing.

Um.. you know the Rhodes Scholarship isn't open to British people right?
It's open to the citizens of 14 specified geographic constituencies, namely: Australia; Bermuda; Canada; Germany; Hong Kong; India; Jamaica & Commonwealth Caribbean; Kenya; New Zealand; Pakistan; Southern Africa (South Africa and neighbors Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia and Swaziland); USA; Zambia; and Zimbabwe (formally Rhodesia made ofter Rhodes)
The reason Rhodes started this was to bring in the best from other colonies so he could educate them in the British way of life and create a secret society that would bring the whole world under British rule and "the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire".
Look, the whole reason for this Rhodes stuff was to stop the sort of disgraceful things we see happening in America today.
For example, the Westboro Baptist Church being granted by the Supreme Court the right to say awful things outside the funeral of a war veteran.
This is a direct result of you leaving England to practice overly-strict religion somewhere else. If you'd stayed, we'd have persecuted this sort of thing out of your ancestors, so there'd be no behaving like this now.
It is also a result of your theft of the King's land and your Constitution....namely Freedom of Speech.
There's nothing wrong with Freedom of Speech - we have had that longer in England. But it doesn't do so well in a country full of very religious people...not too unlike those that founded the US.
This is the root cause of everything that troubles America.
On the one hand, you like to have high morals (e.g. even if gone mad like the Westboro group) but, on the other, you proclaim freedom (e.g. free speech). So when morals get in the way of freedom, we get problems. Which is why I can't buy liquor at a gas station on a Sunday morning in this country. But the Westboro group are allowed to do what they do under the protection of law.
In England, none of this would have happened. We're not religion crazy, so I can buy my liquor at a gas station on a Sunday morning, on the way to Church driving a bus full of kids if I so please.
And any Westboro baptist activities there my friends would have met with an interesting response from passers by (although, I concede, that may have created other problems). There was no response here because you don't know how to fight because you all have guns - but we've covered that elsewhere.
Rhodes aimed to flush this sort of silliness out of America. So far it has not worked.
So drop your morals. Or drop your freedom. You can't have both.
God Save the Queen.
Wouldn't happen in England. Wouldn't have happened if you still had a Queen. Wouldn't have happened if your ancestors had not taken what was not theirs. Wouldn't have happened if guns were banned.

You do know that anyone can start a scholarship for kids. I started one after my husband died for kids with interests in science. It is a renewable scholarship, it is in an interest bearing account, and all the kids have to do is to write an essay why they have a keen interest in the sciences. I picked the sciences because of his love for it. The award is 500.00 and, the college asked if I wanted to pick the essay but, I refrained and left it in the college hands to do so. The name of the scholarship is one my husband would had laughed at alot. So, anyone interested in doing one for a college bound student, it can be done. Pick your college and make the difference for one kid a year. Won't make him or her rich but, it can pay for books, and provides a sense of accomplishment.
They do indeed, Cookie. They do indeed.
Just what is a Texas county mounty doing in Arkansas?

Especially when they're played in the Valley.
In what amounted to a play-in game to the Class 4A playoffs, the Valley Cubs proved that superior will can triumph over superior talent.
"I thought our players showed great heart," Alexandria coach Frank Tucker said. "They just refused to lose. They wanted to get in the playoffs, and they just played all out."
Often, such a quote comes off as coach speak, but there is no denying the collective team effort that lifted the Cubs to victory over the stronger, faster Saints.
It only took 54 seconds for St. Clair County to demonstrate that athleticism, as Fabian Moody scored from 63 yards out to temporarily hush the crowd.
But the Cubs' defense continued to make plays to keep the game within a score while their offense struggled. They went three-and-out on three of their first four possessions, but the defense forced an interception, a fumble and a turnover on downs during that time.
"We had a good homecoming crowd, and I feel like our crowd gave us a little momentum early in the game when we were kind of struggling," Tucker said.
On its last drive of the first half, Alexandria began to move the ball. However, after Justin Bowen threw an incomplete pass on third-and-one from the Saints' 16, the Cubs either had to attempt a field goal or to gain a yard.
But officials called unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on both teams. Officials marked off the Saints' penalty as half the distance to the goal then marked 15 yards off against Alexandria and ruled it first down.
Both sidelines were furious with the ruling, but Bowen and DeAntae Owens kept their composure and connected on a 22-yard pass. Owens scored from a yard out on the next play to send the Cubs to the locker room trailing 7-6.
Owens scored two rushing touchdowns, intercepted a pass and kept another scoring drive alive with a one-handed catch.
"This was going to be the last time most of us took the field together here, and we just knew we had to win," Owens said.
Owens' little brother also came up big on one of the game's most bizarre plays.
With Alexandria clinging to a 19-15 lead with four minutes to play, St. Clair County faced a third-and-12. The Cubs strung out quarterback Jervontes Goldsby, but he escaped. Justice Owens came from nowhere, stole the ball and ran it into field goal range.
He was among many Cubs who made an impact.
Jarline Lee carried 29 times and scored the go-ahead touchdown after shrugging off a Saints defender.
Tyler Burr made two impressive catches, one in traffic and one on the sideline that helped Alexandria stay on the field during two scoring drives.
Blake Sloan knocked down two passes at the line of scrimmage, including one on fourth down on St. Clair County's last-gasp drive.
It was a gutsy showing for a team that can usually be penciled in to the playoffs before the season starts but struggled out of the gates and faced injuries.
Qualifying for the playoffs made the journey worth the obstacles. Players and fans voiced their pleasure, and the typically reserved Tucker let loose for jumping side bumps with players and coaches.
"We started off 0-3," he said. "Since then, we've only had two bad practices. Nobody has quit the team, and nobody has gone half-speed."

17-year old French ace linked with City move
- 16 July 2012 07:39
- Posted by Mark Booth
It's reported that City are set to win the race to Caen striking prospect M'Baye Niang, while the Blues are also linked with Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama.
The Blues are yet to enter into the transfer market this summer but all that could be about to change, if you listen to Alan Nixon at the Daily Mirror who reckons that City are set to win the race for talented striker Niang.
"However City's direct move - and money - may yet win the chase for the £6million-rated prospect who wants to leave the French Second Division outfit," writes Nixon.
"Niang, a quick and tall striker, is in the French under-21 side years ahead of his age and rated the best player to emerge from his country in that role for some time."
There are more rumoured incomings in the Daily Mail, who report that Celtic midfielder Wanyama could swap Glasgow for Manchester.
"The defending Premier League champions have concerns over their defensive midfield position with injured Gareth Barry struggling to make the start of the season and Nigel de Jong looking to leave," reads the story.
"[City] see potential in powerful Kenyan Wanyama who has expressed a desire to leave Celtic. The 21-year-old has been watched by Liverpool, Newcastle and QPR," so says the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, Ray Parlour has waded into the RVP transfer odyssey, proposing that a swap deal involving Edin Dzeko would be a satisfactory move for the Gunners.
"I don't know what Arsenal will look at, but if [Van Persie] does want to go to Manchester City then maybe they could look at a swap deal with someone like Dzeko and bring him in," he told talkSPORT.
"His wages might be a problem," Parlour added.
"I don't know what kind of wages Dzeko is on at Manchester City and Arsenal have always had that pay structure that they want to keep to and maybe they have to change that."
Don't forget that no deal is done until you see it on the Official Manchester City website.

Houston >Lodging > Renaissance Houston Greenway Plaza Hotel
6 Greenway Plaza East, Houston, TX | Directions 7704629.730966 -95.432980
Neighborhoods: Greenway/ Upper Kirby, Central
Great price, wonderful rooms, nice staff. – Don't get me wrong, having to pay through the nose to park is really ridiculous, and the 17 or 18 dollars to valet is outrageous, but the staff and quality of the rooms make up for it. I stay at this hotel regularly when I just want to get away from my house. At one point I was staying at least two times a month. The room rates are great, and the view is spectacular. I always request a corner room on a high level that's north facing and they NEVER fail to deliver. I must admit, I haven't had roomservice/food on site, but every thing else is spectacular. The pool is well kept and is very refreshing on a weekend away, and I just can't say enough about the friendliness of the staff. I'm also notorious for late checkout, too, and they're always willing to accomodate me. It's quite nice. I plan to visit for a weekend again very soon.
Oh, and the beds are extremely comfortable, too!
Both sports fans and business travelers will appreciate the location of this moderately luxurious hotel. – The Scene
The Renaissance Houston Hotel--with its white columns and black, metallic facade--is perfectly situated for travelers doing business in the nearby Greenway Plaza corporate complex. Greenway Plaza is located near several corporate headquarters and is next to The Compaq Center Sports and Entertainment Complex. This 20-floor hotel overlooks a Houston freeway, making it a short drive to many city attractions.
The Details
The 338 guest rooms have been designed with comfort and convenience in mind, and the decor tends toward the simple, in shades of tan and cream. Rooms cater to workaholics with work desks, two-line telephones with speakerphones and data ports, and some also offer wet bars. A newspaper is delivered to your door Monday through Friday. Concierge services, a safe deposit box and a hair salon/barber shop are available.
Worth a visit – After a huge renovation, this hotel deserves a second look. The great location gets you to the Galleria or to Downtown in 10 minutes. If you're able to afford the Concierge Level (or if you are a frequent Marriott stayer), the new plush beds and sparkling clean rooms are great. The new lounge offers some great food in the early evenings with a fairly wide selection of hors d'oevres and the Concierges are downright Texas friendly.
Check-in can be a real bear though. Nothing worse than being told that because the hotel is so busy, they don't have enough staff to serve you. I waited over 20 minutes the last time I checked in.

I used to love grabbing smoothies, until I stumbled across the nutrition facts! I was really in shock when I looked up the nutritional information for my favorite smoothie, the jamba juice banana berry smoothie. The smoothie can contain up to 560 calories, and GET THIS, 115g of sugar. You think you are doing something good for your body, instead you are overloading it with tons of added sugar and other hidden culprits like frozen yogurt and sherbet! While the froyo and sherbet they add are fat free, they are desserts in themselves, and not something I want in mid day pick me up.

Washington, DC – Less than three weeks before the first voters cast ballots for the 2012 elections, U.S. Senators Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Charles Schumer (D-NY) have introduced their bill to create tough new criminal and civil penalties for those who create and distribute false and deceptive voting information and campaign literature. Respecting provisions of the First Amendment, the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2011 is narrowly tailored to apply to only a small category of false communications that occur during the last 90 days before an election, such as literature listing the wrong date or time for the election, giving inaccurate information about voter eligibility, or promoting false endorsements of candidates.
"Nearly 50 years after Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, we are still fighting to ensure that every American's vote counts," said Senator Cardin. "The tactics we saw in Maryland and across America in recent elections are not new. We have a moral obligation to stop these reprehensible activities that are aimed at keeping minorities from exercising their inalienable right to vote. All Americans deserve the right to choose a candidate based on relevant issues and the quality of the candidates, not based on underhanded efforts designed to undermine the integrity of our electoral process."
"The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy," said Senator Schumer. "We must do everything in our power to ensure that this fundamental, constitutional right is not corrupted for partisan gain. Efforts to mislead and confuse eligible voters by distributing false and deceptive voting information and campaign literature is part of what seems to be a larger strategy to keep certain voters away from the polls. This bill will rightly make this shameful practice illegal and will impose strict penalties on those who lie to their fellow Americans through false communications to try to keep them from voting."
The Cardin-Schumer Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2011, prohibits deceptive practices in federal elections, creates a civil right of action and criminal penalties for violations, allows for corrective action by the Attorney General, and requires the Department of Justice to report to Congress on such activity. This legislation recognizes the power of Congress to prohibit racially discriminatory tactics in elections under the Fifteenth Amendment, Voting Rights Act, and the general power of Congress under Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution to regulate the "times, places, and manner" of federal elections.
The legislation has been endorsed by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that for four decades has been at the forefront of the legal struggle to achieve equality and protect advances in voting rights for racial and ethnic minorities and other traditionally disenfranchised groups.
"Misleading robocalls, flyers and online messages with the intent of suppressing the vote is the real fraud being perpetrated against American voters. I was proud to stand with then-Senator Barack Obama in 2007 when he first introduced the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act and I'm grateful that Senators Schumer and Cardin continue to champion such an important law," said Barbara Arnwine, Executive Director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
Senator Schumer first introduced legislation to prevent deceptive practices in federal elections in 2007, with then-Senator Barack Obama and cosponsored by Senator Cardin. Details of the Cardin-Schumer bill introduced today follows:
Prohibits Deceptive Practices in Federal Elections
è Prohibits communicating false statements to voters regarding election and voting information: Prohibits any individual, within 90 days of an election, from communicating (including written, electronic, and telephone communications) or producing materially false election information with the intent to mislead voters or discourage or prevent another person from exercising the right to vote in a federal election. Prohibited communication includes false information on the time or place of the election and false voter qualification information, including fake criminal penalties associated with voting or other false information regarding status or eligibility.
è Prohibits false statements to voters regarding candidate endorsement: Prohibits any individual, within 90 days of an election, from communicating (including written, electronic, and telephone communications) a materially false statement about a public endorsement of a candidate with the intent to mislead voters.
è Prohibits hindering, interfering with, or preventing voting or voter registration: Prohibits any individual from interfering with or preventing another person from voting, registering to vote. Prohibits any individual from interfering with or preventing someone aiding another person to vote or register to vote.
è Prohibits payment to individuals for not voting: Amends the Voting Rights Act to include a prohibition on paying individuals to not vote (in addition to the existing prohibitions on paying for votes and registration to vote).
Creates Civil Right of Action and Criminal Penalties For Violations
è Creates a private right of action for deceptive practices: Allows any person aggrieved by a violation of the prohibition against deceptive practices to institute a civil action for preventive relief, including injunctions and restraining orders.
è Creates criminal penalties for deceptive practices: Individuals who commit deceptive practices or an attempt to commit deceptive practices are subject to a fine or imprisonment for not more than 5 years or both.
è Increases existing penalty for voter intimidation: Increases penalty for voter intimidation from 1 year to 5 years imprisonment.
è Authorizes and directs U.S. Sentencing Commission to review and amend Federal sentencing guidelines: Directs USSC to review and, if appropriate, amend applicable Federal sentencing guidelines and policy statements.
Allows for Corrective Action
è Allows AG to communicate accurate information to communities affected by deceptive practices: Authorizes Attorney General to promptly communicate accurate information to correct any false information disseminated to affected communities if AG determines that appropriate corrective action has not been taken by state or local officials. Sets standards Attorney General to communicate accurate information.
Reports to Congress
è Requires regular AG reports to Congress: Requires that, not later than 180 days after each general federal election, the Attorney General to submit a report to Congress compiling all allegations received by the AG of deceptive practices, including a detailed description of each allegation of deceptive practice, the status of the investigation, a description of each corrective action taken by the AG, criminal prosecutions made pursuant to an allegation, and other information. Requires report to be made public.
è Provides for severability of provisions: Provides that if any provision of the Act is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of the Act shall not be affected by the holding
Effective Date
è Effective upon enactment: Provisions contained in the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act are effective upon enactment. AG required to issue written standards and procedures for corrective action within 180 days of enactment. U.S. Sentencing Commission required to review and, if appropriate, to amend Federal sentencing guidelines and policy statements within 180 days of enactment.

Post-mortem set, United Kingdom, 1860-1865
Made from steel with ivory handles, the set contains knives for cartilage, bones and the brain, forceps, saws, scalpels and a spine wrench – all used for post-mortems. The instruments are all still remarkably sharp. Post-mortems only came into practice in the early 1800s. They were used to determine whether the physician's diagnosis when the patient was alive had been correct. They also helped physicians to learn more about the internal symptoms and signs of disease. Most of these instruments were made by S Maw & Son, a surgical instrument maker based in London; the rest were made by other instrument makers based in the United Kingdom.

In a bid to expand its parts and service network across the Americas, Volvo Penta has appointed Tracbel as its newest dealer for Industrial and Commercial engines in Brazil.
Volvo Penta hits ConExpo 2014 to promote its full range of industrial engines and worldwide customer support.
Dennis Eagle is one of Volvo Penta's key engine customers – but as a manufacturer of on-road trucks, it's an unusual one. The company is bringing its Euro 6 emissions legislation-compliant trucks to the market this month – with help from its friends at Volvo Penta.
To further grow and strengthen its industrial engine business in the Americas, Volvo Penta has appointed Shawn Sweet as vice president of industrial sales.
Volvo Penta industrial engines work in some pretty unusual locations — but perhaps none so out of this world as a spaceport in South America.
Giorgio Paris, Volvo Penta's president of Emerging Markets, used his Middle East Electricity 2014 press conference speech to promote the company's range of genset engines, which is suited to extreme environments like the Middle East — as well as to underscore Volvo Penta's dedication to the region.
When one of the world's most exciting sporting events makes its return to Brazil this summer, Stemac, a major generator assembler based in Porto Alegre, will be there to power the event, using Volvo Penta-equipped gensets.

The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is both a reference and a tutorial on shell scripting. This comprehensive book, the equivalent of 1,000+ print pages, covers almost every aspect of shell scripting. It contains 382 profusely commented illustrative examples, a number of tables, and a cross-linked index/glossary. Not just a shell scripting tutorial, this book also provides an introduction to basic programming techniques, such as sorting and recursion. Included scripts are the Game of Life, a Perquackey variant, a Morse code trainer, and an implementation of the Gronsfeld Cipher. This book is suited for both individual study and classroom use. It covers Bash, up to and including version 4.2. Note that users of miniaturized single-board computers running Linux, such as the Raspberry Pi and the Beagle Bone, would find this Guide useful for learning and running Bash scripts to explore and expand the capabilities of these small, but powerful machines.
